The teams are getting ready to hit the field as Arsenal will face Sunderland in one of the first matchups of the day as the English Premiere League gets ready to take off in their 2012-2013 campaign.

Arsenal is the strongest team that will take the field today.

Last season saw Arsenal finish in third place with a 20-6-20 record. They scored 68 goals, while only allowing 44 scores, tallying up 66 points in the league.

Theo Walcott will look to continue being the scoring machine for the Gunners. The 23-year-old, home grown talent finished 2011-2012 with 26 of Arsenal's 68 goals.

Robin van Persie is now a member of the Manchester United club, so the Gunners will definitely need similar production out of Walcott in 2012.

Last season, Arsenal swept Sunderland in both of the season matches.

Sunderland finished their 2011-2012 campaign with an 11-12-13 record. They scored 44 goals and allowed 43.

Do not miss the action as Arsenal will look to continue dominating the English Premier League in the 2012-2013 season. 

Also in action, at 10 a.m. ET/3 p.m. GMT are West Hamp United vs. Aston Ville, Queens Park Rangers vs. Swansea, West Bromwich Albion vs. Liverpool, Reading vs. Stoke and Fulham vs. Norwich. 

The last match of the day will be Newcastle vs. Totteham
